Currently as a psychotherapist and in addition to individual and family counselling, he is interested in Emotionally-Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT) as a preferred approach to resolving relationship issues.

EFCT is an effective research-based framework focusing on attachment bonds, repetitive communication patterns; and how a change in communication (as the ‘music’ of a couple’s relationship) can change the action-reaction ‘dance’, and therefore helping reconnect couples in more secure attachment.

Counselling experience includes;marriage and family, divorce and blended family mediation,psychological aspects of chronic pain management, as well as stress and depression management.

Dr. Lloyd is also a clinical consultant and provides staff training to Hollyburn Youth and Family Services. His counselling practice in Maple Ridge is with Dr. David Lingley & Associates.
